Wednesday was the first day of a $55 million experiment to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty.

    Agreed.

    I only wish it weren’t a state or local-level thing. If we can find hundreds of billions for other countries’ wars, in my mind, there’s no excuse for UBI not being the law at the federal level.

      Same, although I do understand that at the moment, it’s only a local or state level thing because it’s still in its early stages. I feel like once enough states or cities experiment then we can gather all that data to create a national system based off what works and find ways to limit abuses on the system.
